Chubby grip differences/ years?

[coasterbrakejunkie1969]

I have 4 different sets of bubble chubby grips 2 blue and 2 red. There is a difference in the appearance of the bubbles between both sets. You can see the larger bubbles in the first pic and smaller in the second. Then pics of them side by side it is much more dramatic with the red. Does anyone know what years these were produced? Would these have been made by more then one manufacturer? Could the different runs from the same factory be the reason for the difference? I was just wondering, to fill my brain. Any useful input is appreciated as well as useless funny stuff.

Original Jell-O grips with factory flaws. Then that gave them an idea, hey let’s make them bigger and call them bubble grips.

Is that correct or just a guess? I wondered if something like that was it. I have a set of green sparkle grips with what looks to be bubbles in them.

Let’s call that an educated guess.

I think the same thing, those are flaws, not bubbles. I've always thought they were mold or something. I beleive those grips were intended to be clear, without the bubbles.

I was told the same story recently, they're defects. One of the Schwinn's took them home and sold the "seconds" many years later.

You've come to the right place in either case.
My grandson asked me recently if I liked bubble tea. I told him I didn't know what it was. Up until now, he thought I knew everything.

I've had bubble tea and I'm still unsure what it is
